Problem with Notepad

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

The text files in my Win XP Professional workstation is no longer being opened in Notepad. It is now opened in Wordpad. Notepad.exe does exist in C:\Wondows folder. When I tried to associate the text (.txt) files with notepad application, notepad is not in the "Open With" list. How can I add notepad to this list, before selecting it for association?

Thanks for the help.
